Ceiling Poem by john tiong chunghoo
Ceiling
he walks down
and i walk up
he walks down
and i walk up
he walks down
and i walk up
we look into each
other and that's
just what we do
everyday
poor me
when am i induced
to be another
racist
he walks down
and i walk up
he walks down
and i walk u
that's what we do
day after day
letting our eyes
do the poor talking
whose fault?
whose fault?
i keep asking
the ceiling
in the nights
why why why?
i ask the ceiling
the answer comes
back in an overhanging
overbearing wordliness
the ceiling

I like how you ask the ceiling... think I do this on a regular basis but it has never occured to me how much time I spend pondering life questions upon its paint... thank you for drawing this to my attention.
